I hope your mom gets better fast and can go back home. I've never heard of a doctor who wanted someone admitted to a hospital sending them to the er, though. That's a first for me. Here they have their nurse call the hospital and arrange the admittance from the doctor's office and the patient just shows up at the admittance office. That's pathetic what she had to go through. And they say the US has the greatest health care in the world! I suppose so, if you live long enough to get the care!
